Kapseret Constituency Member of Parliament (MP) Oscar Sudi has warned former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua about his remarks on the 2007/2008 post-election violence.
In a recorded video message shared via his official social media accounts on Saturday, May 17, 2025, the UDA MP warned the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) party leader against making remarks that would reopen the already healed wounds.
Sudi asked to ask for votes using any other means, including abusing the head of state and his allies, but not to talk about the post-election violence that left many with painful memories.
“Wamunyoro, please don’t talk about 2007/2008. It seems you don’t know what you are saying. Watu wetu walipitia mambo ambayo hayatawahi rudiwa katika taifa la Kenya. Omba kura, tafuta namna yoyote, tusi William Ruto, tusi Oscar Sudi, tusi Kimani Ichung’wa, tusi everybody, lakini usiongee mambo ya 2007/2008. You are becoming too reckless, yaani unaongea vitu zingine za ajabu sana. You are not a leader,” Sudi said.
Sudi further warned political leaders to stop inciting the public by minding what they utter in public.
“Chunga sana ulimi. Sisi viongozi ndo tunachochea wananchi. Sisi ndo tunaongea matope sana kushinda wananchi. Sasa wewe unaweza ongoza nani na hiyo ujinga yote uko nayo? Be careful, wewe Wamunyoro,” the lawmaker argued.
He also claimed that such remarks are the ones that made Gachagua a half-term deputy president after he was impeached.
